I mean the semester that is.

Not contemplating on dumping or leaving anyone or anything yet.

I am happily staying at home alone for the time being, and it’s been a week since I left Promedia as an intern, how quickly it was! I still remembered exactly a week ago I was partially blinded when my left eye decided to go blur vision on me, so I ended up squinting the entire day with a massive headache where my left eye is trying hard to see while my right eye is perfectly fine. My boss was kind enough to have a farewell lunch for myself which never ever happened while I was in JUICE, except Natasha who joined me for my last lunch as a JUICE intern at Crystal Jade.

So yea, I’ve been bumming at home for the past week and I’m getting into making jewelry again! I feel so productive this week, I made 6 pairs of earrings, a bracelet and two necklaces. I used mostly crystal beads recycled from my mother’s stash of crystal bracelets and I think the end product is very good. Can’t wait to show my mum what I made with her boring looking crystal bracelets that were just strung together with elastic bands.

Other than that, I have been internet-less for a week! It was actually two, it all began last week but I couldn’t be at home during working hours hence I shove the thought of calling up Telekom so I did this Monday since I’m finally a free woman. I called on Monday noon, lodging a report that my streamyx line is down and has been down since a week ago and I’m hoping for them to come by and have a look.

So I made my report and the operator promised that a technician will call me asap, but I waited till the next day to no avail, I called again and there was no hope, not even a glimmer! So the following day I called again, and until Thursday finally a technician called and he said he’ll drop by to check the problem. So I waited, and even refrained myself from going out just in case he shows up but again to no avail, he didn’t show up! (At that point, I was already confined to my house for 3 days, just because I hadn’t a purpose to go out) So I called them up and they asked me to check my connection and (duh!) I said it has been down for 2 weeks and if it’s fine I wouldn’t be calling. They said if there’s still no progress tomorrow they’ll drop by tomorrow, which I thought was ridiculous as to why they couldn’t come on the very day I made my follow up calls?

Anyhow, today (which is FRIDAY!) they finally came and did whatever they needed to fix my internet and now I’m here writing a post to rant, complain, yada yada while having my homely meal of sweet potato porridge served with potato pancakes and salty bean fish. Other than being productive in jewelry making, I’ve also been doing a lot of home cooking which is so much better than eating out. Well that explains my bills for groceries but I have made my calculations, I get to eat healthier and be creative in my meals when I buy my own groceries and cook them.

Speaking of bills, this month has been a shopaholic month for myself. Hugo bought me this dress from Forever 21 that was just perfect, beautiful and so me.. and it costs a bomb! I felt guilty but it’s as if money to him is no matter. I’ve also bought a few pieces of apparels online which was at a good price, a bargain if I may say and they are very timeless pieces. I always have this vision that my handmade jewelry and my dresses will be passed down to my daughter(s) and their future generations. So yea, I see buying good quality items as an investment and legacy.

But the amount I’ve spent couldn’t accumulate to what Hugo did. He was just, OTT (Over The Top) beyond recognition, talking about spending on something(s) that’s worth of 3 months paycheck.

Well, at least I made him save some every month.

And he’s coming back today! And he’s probably gonna buy more things tomorrow, worth a month’s paycheck I suppose. But I’m excited because I get to watch Eclipse tomorrow. Team Edward all the way! ♥

Till then, jolly weekend everyone! I have another week to bum off because my classes will start a week later instead of next week. This sucks max. Urgh.
